Chapter 156: Di Shitian Transmits Cultivation

Duan Fengyun smiled after hearing Shenmu's words and thought to himself:

"You had better pray that we do not obtain the Dragon Essence, otherwise your Heavenly Gate will vanish into thin air by then."

Duan Fengyun said to Bu Jingyun and the others:

"Let us go. We shall come back to see Senior Wuming in a few days!"

Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, and Jian Chen looked back at the Heavenly Gate with reluctance, secretly resolving in their hearts that they must find an opportunity to rescue Wuming.

The five of them flew down from the viewing platform, pulled Long Er along, and walked out of the Heavenly Gate.

As for the rest of the martial artists, some left and some stayed; after witnessing the strength of Di Shitian, no less than half of them submitted to the Heavenly Gate.

At this moment, inside the Heavenly Gate, the brothers Huaikong and Huaimie were kneeling before Di Shitian.

Although Di Shitian did not take the combat power of the two to heart, in order to keep his secrets, he still kept the two of them behind separately.

"Huaimie, you go out first.

This seat has matters to discuss with Huaikong, and then this seat will speak with you."

After hearing this, Huaimie nodded, patted Huaikong on the shoulder, and went out.

Huaikong was eager for revenge and might act rashly, but the calm Huaimie knew that cooperating with Di Shitian was no different from seeking skin from a tiger, and one needed to be careful at every step.

Huaimie actually wanted to persuade Huaikong, but the current Huaikong could not listen to his advice at all, so Huaimie could only silently protect him from behind.

After Huaimie went out, Di Shitian said to Huaikong:

"Huaikong, this seat asks you: can you give up everything, even your own life, to avenge your master!"

Huaikong looked into Di Shitian's eyes and said firmly:

"As long as I can have my revenge, I, Huaikong, am willing to sacrifice everything, including my life."

Di Shitian laughed loudly:

"Good. This seat will help you master the Iron Refining Hand, and this seat will not take your life either.

It is just that in a short while, you must handle a matter for this seat."

Huaikong replied:

"I will go through mountains of blades and seas of fire without hesitation."

Di Shitian shouted:

"Good!"

Di Shitian raised his finger and pointed at the center of Huaikong's brow; a sharp, intense pain caused Huaikong to pass out immediately.

Not long after, Huaikong woke up, and upon waking, he discovered that a Cultivation Method had appeared in his mind.

The high and mighty Di Shitian said:

"Huaikong, the Cultivation Method in your mind is precisely the Iron Refining Hand passed down through generations of your Iron Gate Sect Leaders.

This seat obtained this long-lost Cultivation Method by chance a long time ago and even taught a portion of it to your master, Tieshen.

Huaikong, this seat must remind you: although the Iron Refining Hand has infinite power, the training process is extremely difficult; it is one of the ten most arduous and miraculous arts in the martial arts world.

The Iron Refining Hand technique itself is actually not difficult, and getting started is very simple.

But if you want to master the Iron Refining Hand, you must first complete the Heart Casting and Meridian Severing; otherwise, you will be unable to withstand the pain and will die during the training process.

As long as you can complete the Heart Casting and Meridian Severing, this seat will use my Profound Ice True Qi to expand your Meridians. By then, your martial arts will advance by leaps and bounds, and Tie Kuangtu will no longer be your match.

And by then, with your strength, you will be enough to rank in the top ten of the Central Plains Martial Arts.

However, all of this is premised on you completing the Heart Casting and Meridian Severing. Take care of yourself."

Di Shitian knew that he and Huaikong were not on the same path, and sooner or later, Huaikong would stand on the opposite side of Di Shitian.

But Di Shitian still chose to help Huaikong master the Iron Refining Hand, mainly for two reasons.

The first is because Di Shitian's Seven Weapons Slay Dragon plan requires gathering seven divine weapons, and not one of these seven divine weapons can be missing.

And as the most vicious peerless weapon among them, Heavenly Sin is even more indispensable.

As the master of Heavenly Sin and the only person who can unleash the power of Heavenly Sin, Huaikong is a necessary candidate for slaying the dragon. Di Shitian needs to win him over, which is why he would help him master the Iron Refining Hand.

Moreover, Huaikong's strength in the early stages was very low, and he was not qualified to participate in slaying the dragon at all; even if he went, he would only be cannon fodder.

What Di Shitian needs is not cannon fodder, but a true peerless expert. Under these circumstances, it is very reasonable for Di Shitian to help Huaikong improve his strength.

The second reason is that Di Shitian simply did not take Huaikong seriously.

In Di Shitian's view, even if Huaikong mastered the Iron Refining Hand, Huaikong was still not worth mentioning in his eyes.

After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great; in Di Shitian's eyes, Huaikong was like an ant that could be crushed to death at will, only that after his help, this ant had become larger.

But no matter how big an ant becomes, it is still an ant, so Di Shitian did not take Huaikong to heart at all.

Huaikong, having obtained the Iron Refining Hand technique, was full of joy and had no worries at all about the suffering of Heart Casting and Meridian Severing.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

But indeed, he did not need to worry; in order to improve his strength, Di Shitian would try every possible means to help him complete the Heart Casting and Meridian Severing.

"Huaikong, you go down first; I have something to discuss with Huaimie!"

"Yes!"

Huaikong nodded and walked out, full of joy.

And seeing Huaikong walking out full of joy, Huaimie knew at a glance that Huaikong had obtained what he wanted.

It was just unclear what Huaikong had promised Di Shitian in return.

"Huaimie, come in quickly!"

Hearing Di Shitian's voice, Huaimie hurriedly put away his thoughts and walked in.

When Huaimie walked before Di Shitian, Di Shitian waved his hand lightly, and Pojun's Greedy Wolf and Heavenly Blade were thrust into the ground in front of Huaimie.

After Pojun and the Divine General died, Di Shitian ordered people to keep Greedy Wolf and Heavenly Blade.

After Pojun lost his utility, Di Shitian had already decided to find a new master for Greedy Wolf and Sky Blade.

Unlike divine weapons such as the Peerless Sword or Heavenly Sin, Greedy Wolf and Sky Blade do not require a master; as long as the wielder possesses enough killing intent and ferocity, they can be used, and the more vicious the wielder, the greater their power.

Huaimie has great ambition and the breadth of spirit and courage to accomplish great things, so Huaimie is the new master Di Shitian has found for Greedy Wolf and Sky Blade.

Di Shitian looked at Huaimie and asked:

"Huaimie, do you know the story of these Greedy Wolf and Sky Blade?"

Huaimie shook his head; he had never paid much attention to or studied weapons.

Thus, Di Shitian continued:

"It is said that after a master swordsmith observed the celestial phenomena at night, he forged Greedy Wolf and Sky Blade based on the Greedy Wolf star constellation in the sky.

After the forging was completed, the swordsmith died suddenly.

Later, these two blades were hidden deep within Tianlang Gu in Dongying.

Just like their names 'Seven Kills' and 'Greedy Wolf', these two blades are a pair of extremely vicious divine weapons.

The baleful aura within the blades can even infect the wolf packs in the valley, making them extremely ferocious; the strength of their killing nature is evident.

Later, in order to defeat Wuming and wash away his shame, Pojun carved a bloody path through Tianlang Gu and seized these two vicious weapons."

Huaimie listened to Di Shitian's long explanation, feeling completely confused.

Why would Di Shitian tell him so many stories about Greedy Wolf and Sky Blade?

Seeing the look of confusion on Huaimie's face, Di Shitian began to explain further.
